I have a multitude of WIPs, including:

- crochet beanie in Wendy Fusion
- Summer Sampler Stole in Zephyr (I've done a whole two rows!!)
- Chevron scarf in Sirdar blur, which I really need to finish
- Trystero socks, which I *really* need to finish (I have SSSS - Severe Second Sock Syndrome)
I'm wanting to have a go at some beading next week, I'd like to make beautiful jewellery, so I got myself a mag and some wire and some thread, (I have loads of beads already) and I'm going to give it a shot.

Oh Vikki, they are all fabulous... I especially like Delle! Was it dyed for a friend of ours???
Aww that bunny is too cute! gorgeous yarns as always and you know I don't like greens but that kelp is special :)
love the colors, mauve to green is my favorite i think. and you will love wire crochet. if you remember how to do the afghan stitch, that is the best, it gives your piece a woven look. pre thread the wire with the beads, and remember the beads will show on the back side of your piece. acutally they will on any piece you crochet.
i like using a steel hook, 4 is about my favorite size, but for that loopy look, a bigger aluminum is best. don't be tempted to use a chain stitch with beads working in every so often unless you are gathering several into one necklace. that just isn't strong enough to be a safe necklace for any long term jewelry possession. it will break. if you wear a cluster of them, that works better.
i've been crocheting wire for about 13 years and teaching, wrote for lap journal, if you have any questions i can help with give a shout. my page is http://imageevent.com/patmcaudel

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous yarns. I'm so impressed.
Awwww the bunny is just soooo cute! And the yarn. This colours made me drooling :)
Those bunny's are very cute. love the dying too. BTw since I also opened an Etsy shop I've used some of those colourways too before seeing your blog.. Dont want you to think I'm plagerising or copying, whatever the term is! Just great minds think alike
more fabulous colours, I particularly like the kelp, it's a superb combination!
Nice bunny too, amigurumi are so addictive :D
